Natural personal cleanser compositions

Abstract

A moisturizing, personal cleansing composition with a limited number of naturally-derived, naturally processed, generally regarded as safe (GRAS), biodegradable ingredients comprising a plurality of oleosomes, an anionic surfactant, a non-ionic surfactant, a lipoaminoacidic surfactant, and a humectant. The personal cleansing composition optionally contains a fragrance, vitamin, essential oil, thickener, exfoliant, preservative, plant extract and other beneficial naturally-derived, naturally processed, generally regarded as safe (GRAS), biodegradable ingredients such as royal jelly. The moisturizing, personal cleansing composition cleanses and moisturizes as well as or better than commercial compositions containing synthetically derived cleansing and moisturizing agents.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a moisturizing, cleansing composition suitable for topical application for cleansing the human body, for example the skin and hair (i.e., a personal cleansing composition). The composition is produced from a limited number of naturally-derived, naturally-processed, safe, biodegradable ingredients and has good cleansing and moisturizing properties.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Personal cleansing compositions have progressed and created a large chemical industry devoted to developing new synthetic surfactants and moisturizers to achieve ever improving moisturizing, personal cleansers for the consumer. There are currently over ten thousand different synthetic chemicals used in personal care products intended for use on human skin. Although these synthetic chemicals have been tested on animals at some stage, they have never been tested for long term health affects ei...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although these synthetic chemicals have been tested on animals at some stage, they have never been tested for long term health affects either individually or in combination.

One difficulty in formulating all-natural personal cleansing compositions is achieving acceptable consumer performance with a limited number of raw materials.

The number of all-natural ingredients available is scarce when compared to the number of highly developed synthetic surfactants, synthetic moisturizers and other synthetic ingredients.

Prior art personal cleansing compositions do not combine effective moisturizing and cleansing properties using only naturally-derived, naturally-processed, safe, biodegradable ingredients.

Moreover, prior art personal cleanser compositions do not have at least 95% of the components derived from natural, ecological processes.
